Since Li Yanan has said it, he might as well say it out loud.
"You're a smart person. The soap factory is the biggest interest for the village and it's a very popular commodity. Not only the villagers, but also people from other villages have seen how well the Fanglin Village soap factory is doing and are eyeing it."
"Of course I knew it was going to happen sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
"The captain is a smart man. He said it nicely on the surface, saying no one can replace you. But asking his niece to take your place is unavoidable, considering you've been away for so long. I think his words are sincere, but people's hearts are fickle."
How could Li Miaomiao not understand this truth?
Since Zhang Degen asked his niece to take her place, how could he not have any ideas at all? She had never taught anyone individually, but as the village chief, Zhang Degen knew more about the soap factory than anyone else, including some technical aspects.
But just knowing is not that easy. You must be familiar with the recipe and try it repeatedly before you can do it.
"People are always like this. When I first brought out the formula, I didn't expect to keep it forever. I just wanted to do some easy work for a while, so I could at least stay in that position for two or three years. Now it's really going much faster than I expected, and it's also my own fault. I've been away for so long, I'm afraid a lot of people are eyeing it."
Although Li Yanan doesn't like to get involved in other people's affairs, he is very clear about what's happening in the village, especially this matter that is closely related to Li Miaomiao.
"Technician, what an easy and respectable position, who wouldn't want it? Besides, everyone knows you gave us the formula, so anyone with the formula can make soap. But Accountant Wu surprised me a little. He had a grudge against you in the past, and even though it seemed like you guys had cleared up the misunderstanding later, this time he's completely supportive of you and is very firm in his attitude. He even got into another fight with the team leader over this matter."
"Accountant Wu is a man of character in some ways, and now it seems he has one more advantage: he always keeps his word."
Accountant Wu had previously admitted to Li Miaomiao that he would fully support her in the future, and now he has actually done it.
Compared to Zhang Degen's righteous behavior in front of others, it is Accountant Wu, who used to look down on others, who is more loyal to Li Miaomiao.
"I used to hate people like Accountant Wu, but after this incident, I realized that people are really strange creatures. Sometimes you can't judge things based solely on your likes and dislikes. Take the team leader, for example. He used to seem so righteous and wholeheartedly caring about the villagers, but when the village really became prosperous, his true colors were revealed."
Li Yanan looked at Li Miaomiao with some concern as he said this: "I know you have a good relationship with the captain's family. What they did this time was really unkind..."
"Stop it. If you want to persuade me, don't bother. Ever since the day I started interacting with Zhang Degen, I've known exactly what kind of person he is. I'm not disappointed that he did something like this, but it happened faster than I expected."
"You see things more clearly than I do."
"Whether I understand or not, it's because I've dealt with the captain's family more often, so I naturally see their true nature."
"It's good that you understand. None of this matters. What matters is what you plan to do in the future. If you go back to the village, it would be better to stay in the provincial capital. Otherwise, even if the captain wants to keep everything the same for the sake of appearances, it's actually different."
"To be honest with you, I did have some thoughts about staying in the provincial capital, but I still wanted to go back to the village. However, with this incident, I really have to make other plans."
She had stayed in the village before because she felt that the remote village was more peaceful. Now Fanglin Village has developed, and because of the soap factory, it has become the most prosperous village in the area. Various troubles and disputes are bound to follow, which is inconsistent with her original intention of staying in the village.
"You can't just think about the village, you have to think about yourself too. People still have to be realistic. Fanglin Village is no longer the Fanglin Village it used to be."
Li Yanan said this with some earnestness.
"I know. Thank you for reminding me. Otherwise, I would still be kept in the dark. It would be embarrassing if I returned home unprepared."
"It's impossible that Pei Guoan didn't know about this. Didn't he tell you when he came?"
Li Yanan suddenly thought of this question and asked
Li Miaomiao shook her head: "No, he probably didn't want me to be distracted and unhappy because of something like this."
Li Miaomiao thought about Pei Guoan's previous mention to her that he might be transferred to the provincial capital, so even though Pei Guoan didn't mention it, he was actually considering it for the future.
Compared to Li Yanan, Li Miaomiao knew very well what kind of person Pei Guoan was. It was impossible for him not to know about the soap factory, and it was impossible for him not to make plans.
It was Pei Yifan. Li Miaomiao believed that the little one also knew about it. This little rascal must have made an agreement with his father and didn't reveal anything to her.
Mentioning Pei Guoan and Pei Yifan, Li Yanan no longer worried about Li Miaomiao: "In that case, don't think too much. I am meddling. Pei Guoan must have planned this matter long ago and will not let you suffer in vain."
No matter how decent Pei Guoan looks and works at the County Public Security Bureau, Li Yanan has long seen that he is a ruthless man with extraordinary means.
Li Miaomiao nodded: "There's no need to do anything. The Fanglin Village soap factory is really too eye-catching now, which is not a good thing. If it is not handled properly, it will be hard to say what will happen in the future."
Originally, Li Miaomiao had no intention of pushing the soap factory in Fanglin Village to the forefront. She thought that by negotiating a few similar cooperation deals, the soap factory would maintain its profitability for a long time. However, this time she wanted to stay in the provincial capital without being suspected, so she had to borrow the name of the soap factory.
If she continued to work at the soap factory, she would have to find ways to eliminate some negative impacts and hidden dangers, but now that the situation is like this, she will not meddle in other people's business.
Li Miaomiao is not so great as to make wedding dresses for others
Zhang Degen did this, and she didn't plan to take any further revenge. Whether it was some changes in the formula that no one knew about or hidden dangers behind the scenes, the greedy people would suffer the consequences.
Accountant Wu
Since Accountant Wu was so righteous, Li Miaomiao thought that she should remind Accountant Wu when the time was right. They were trapped together. After all, Accountant Wu was now also in charge of the soap factory, and he would be the first to bear the brunt of any problems.
Li Yanan didn't think much about it at first, but he understood as soon as he heard what Li Miaomiao said.
Well, her worries were unnecessary. Whether it was Pei Guoan or Li Miaomiao, both of them were ruthless people and no one could bully them.
